Data Source and Calculation
Currently, the only Virginia board-approved HSE examination in Virginia is the General Educational Development (GED) test, which was developed by the American Council on Education to enable persons who have not graduated from high school to demonstrate the attainment of abilities normally associated with completion of a high school program of study. A database tracks the number of HSE test takers that pass a HSE test and earn a certificate.

Currently, the only Virginia board-approved HSE examination in Virginia is the General Educational Development (GED) test. The year 2015 reflects a little more than double the number of individuals who passed in 2014. This is a result of high quality professional development for HSE staff and teachers. Students are becoming more familiar and comfortable with the testing format on computer. In addition, the passing score for the GED test was dropped to 145 for each section of the test. Six hundred and forty seven students were added to the passers as a result of the score adjustment by GED Testing Service. Moreover, the number of students attempting to take the test continues to increase. |
